theweaselkingA large cache of firearms seized by Toronto Police last week sat in an abandoned SUV in an East York apartment parking lot for 4 1/2 months. The astonishing batch of firepower was described by Chief Julian Fantino as "better armament than we have as a police service."
The weapons, spotted by the superintendent of the Blair St. building when he looked in the SUV, included mostly assault weapons. There were a .45-calibre Thompson sub-machinegun, a 7.62-mm Galil, a Kalashnikov, an AK-47 with a drum magazine, another Galil with a folding stock, three AR-15s and ammunition.
An officer familiar with the case doesn't think the weapons were intended for the underworld market. The suspected owner was once a licensed gun collector who had let his permits lapse, he explained.
Probably not the owner
